Egg and tofu wrap

At first I thought I just wanted a simple breakfast wrap. Spinach, fried egg, Rudi’s GF tortilla. But it looked a little sad (despite the absolutely perfect fried egg), so I took a fridge survey, and decided to make a mustard tofu salad too. It had 1/4 block of extra firm tofu, dijon mustard, honey mustard, plain almond milk, and lemon juice. It was a little bit runny, but I wasn’t too bothered by it.  Just meant more juicy goodness to wipe up with (extra) carbs afterwards. I could hardly stand it’s perfection.  I had… Read more >

Baking with dried fruit

I made mini banana bread bakes with dried fruit.  Would you ever have thought dried fruit could get plump and juicy?  Well it does! No recipes to share here because I was just throwing thing into the glass bowl all willy-nilly, but I made two of them.  The first had dried blueberries and the second had goji berries. I “rehydrated” them (is that what it’s called?) by soaking them in warm water for a while first.  Then I added the rest of the ingredients to the plump berry water and mixed until it had a… Read more >

Crock Pot Corn Chowder

Really you don’t need a slow cooker to make this.  I just used mine because I wanted to have the option to leave the house…you know just in case I felt like going on a run or doing something active (hahahaha!).  I felt ridiculous even as I typed that…the end of this pregnancy has turned me into a sloth.  Oh how I long for the feeling of an elevated heart rate (that’s not from simply walking up a flight of stairs).  I digress…   This corn chowder was something I threw together with fridge scraps. … Read more >

Gluten Free Breadmaker Bread

Whole wheat bread in the breadmaker is easy.  It’s effortless.  It turns out every time.  Gluten free baking is so much harder.  There are a million different variables.  And even after reading countless blogs and baking books, I still understand barely a fraction of it all.    But look!  A successful loaf that doesn’t involve bean flours. [Background info: My only really successful gluten free loaves have all included bean flours.  However, my GI tract likes bean flour about as much as it likes wheat.  Less, in fact.  Hence the mission to find a breadmaker… Read more >

Be excited x2

What a tease of a post title!  Ok, but seriously, there are two things that I cannot wait to share.  Both are in the photo below.   Number 1.  The bread. Technically it’s still a work in progress, but already I can tell it’s got lots of potential.  It’s the best I’ve done yet.  And for a gluten free breadmaker recipe, it’s good enough to share.    Because this GF bread doesn’t use bean flours.  And I threw everything in the breadmaker just like I would with a wheat loaf.    I am so freakin’… Read more >
